Description

GREEN Guadeloupe, Basse-Terre. Guadeloupe Island is the oldest region in the Western Hemisphere growing coffee today. In 1723, Gabriel Mathieu de Clieu, a young French Naval officer, fell in love with the exquisite taste of coffee - then a newly discovered beverage in Europe. Mr. de Clieu then took a risk and exposed himself to many perils in order to take a coffee plant from the Royal Botany Garden in Paris to the the Island of Martinique in the Caribbean, as he thought the climate of the Caribbean was ideal for producing excellent quality coffee.
